A dark, hand-drawn point-and-click sequel eleven years in the making that trades its predecessor's simple hidden-object structure for a deeper, visual-novel-heavy branching story, landing "Very Positive" with fans of the original split mainly on whether that trade was worth it.
7.5 / 10
A short indie horror game that casts you as Mr Peanut, a dog exploring a secret-filled cabin to warn a family of danger, drawing a Very Positive reception that repeatedly praises its full voice cast, dog-specific mechanics like sniffing and barking, and a genuinely working settings menu, tempered by a slow, mostly jumpscare-free pace some reviewers found tiring.
7.5 / 10
A genuinely inventive climbing-horror roguelike in Early Access that earned an Overwhelmingly Positive badge across a massive review base, whose own biggest, most consistent complaint is that it "does not respect the player's time" — permadeath resets progress through well-tuned early content, and reviewers say newer biomes added since launch haven't been tuned as carefully as the original two.

A quiet night shift, gradually unraveling Within of Static - Northgate Mall is the second entry in 616 GAMES' anthology of first-person horror games built around ordinary peopl
7.5 / 10
A cheap, fully-voiced yandere stalker-horror game that lets players choose between two distinct pursuers, held back by an AI that tracks too well and a hero whose story feels half-finished.
7.5 / 10
A tight, jump-scare-heavy solo-dev horror outing about a suspiciously cheap house in the woods — genuinely effective in short bursts, let down by repetitive scares and a couple of trial-and-error puzzle sections.

Descending Through Someone Else's Mind Depth of Mind opens with a warning worth taking seriously: this is a roguelite about a depressed man's inner world, and it doesn'
7.4 / 10
A Lovecraftian lighthouse-keeper sim that pairs a Papers, Please-style ship-guiding loop with a steady stream of cosmic-horror visitors, praised for its atmosphere and premise but criticised for a second half that piles on distractions faster than it evolves them.

Pilgrim of Darkness is a $14.99 co-op PvE horror survival game from developer VIWESA GAMES about pilgrim-monks gathering crystals in cursed, demon-infested lands, built around a fear system that can optionally sync with a real heart-rate monitor, and this review's full 9-review sample is unanimously positive across five languages.
7.3 / 10
Wasteland Bites is a $9.99 horror food truck sim that blends Five Nights at Freddy's-style multitasking survival with cooking for post-apocalyptic mutants, and while its atmosphere and addictive early hours have won a large, enthusiastic audience, a consistent wave of criticism targets a brutal late-game difficulty spike and a repetitive core cooking loop.

Judas Brothers and Rassl.me's VHS-filtered domestic horror puts players behind the counter of a roadside cafe in early-2000s Ukraine, delivering a tense, culturally specific hour or two undercut by an abrupt ending and a frustrating closing chase.

A student-made VR horror climbing game built around a genuinely huge dystopian megastructure, Colony 19 delivers atmosphere and scale that punch well above its free price tag, even with rough edges around its movement and a few missing conveniences.
